We truly value what makes each person unique and are building a workplace that’s inclusive, friendly, and supportive.

We invite a high-caliber Technical Team Lead who thrives on technical challenges and knows how to communicate effectively with CTO-level stakeholders to join our team.

• Collaborate with senior leadership to drive decisions that shape the platform and maximize client success

✅ Is that you?

• 6+ years working with distributed payment systems and high-throughput processing
• 2+ years in the payments domain, with a solid understanding of the payment lifecycle (authorization, capture, settlement)
• Experience with payment orchestration, gateway integrations, tokenization, smart routing, retries, and multi-processor environments
• Experience with authorization and settlement pipelines
• Knowledge of card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and ISO 8583/SPDH messaging
• Understanding of PCI DSS compliance
• Experience with PostgreSQL and Unix-based systems, and familiarity with networking fundamentals
• Effective collaboration with senior engineers, architects, and technical leads in Agile teams
• Strong communication skills and ability to turn technical challenges into clear business plans
• Proactive, solution-oriented, and adaptable mindset, with openness to new ideas and constructive feedback
• Upper-Intermediate English level and native-level Croatian proficiency

Desirable:

• Experience with low-level C cores and complex Perl data-transformation layers
• Experience with С and Perl or willingness to learn
• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
